So Games Workshop just published a "40k is satire, nazis pls leave" statement. What do you nerds think? (hexbear.net)

Here's a link.

Does it fail as satire? Does this kind of thing work as good satire for specific people? Somebody explain.

Some nazis are just stupid and don't understand that this depiction is not an endorsement, but there's a good proportion (don't know the percentage) that are doing the "yes, but unironically" thing. The 40k lore is conductive to this because as the GW's statement points outs it's not a "ha-ha" kind of satire.
